The Future of Dal's Technology-Enabled Teaching and Learning Environment (hosted by Senate)

I would like to invite all faculty, staff and students to attend a discussion on the Future of Dalhousie's Technology-Enabled Teaching and Learning Environment, hosted by Senate.

Thursday, December 8th
3:00pm-5:00pm

Halifax - Room 170 CHEB, Carleton Campus

Truro - Room 254 Haley Institute, Extended Learning

Senate would like to hear from you!

While technology can greatly enhance teaching and learning, it can also make it challenging for faculty, students and staff to create an excellent teaching and learning environment. Senate is hosting an event that will provide information about the current state of technology-enabled teaching and learning at Dalhousie and give you the opportunity to discuss your views of its future at Dalhousie.

Watch the video (8 min) to learn more about what Dal is doing now. The video will also provide you with an overview of nine questions which will be the focus of the discussion on Dec. 8.

Cookies and beverages will be available, along with door prizes.

The Senate is also responsible for setting academic regulations (including regulations governing student conduct and discipline), which affect the University as a whole, and it establishes the academic calendar.
